[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 639808, member: 1550"] Oopsies, sorry I made an error in my explanation. It is not just documentation you need, like a letter from a doctor. You need documentation from the State of Whatever t hat you are disabled. Then you can get help that leads to work. My son got his job that way and worked his way up. I got into Goodwill and have never done this well. I think it is because they let me learn in layers and did not mind my face blindness and believed in me. Both of us have documented disabilities by the state and get SSDI as well as working the max that we are allowed. I do not want to argue so I did not read the other posts, feeling they may challenge what I know. So I hope this was an explanation and not something that riled anyone up. I do recommend getting disability if you are truly disabled because that is the only way you are going to get the help you need in the workplace. But one warning: behaving badly at any job, regardless of your diagnosois or disability, is going to get you fired. My son, who is on the autism spectrum, started out in a sheltered workshop and many people there had bonafide mental illnesses, including schizophrenia, and the workshop was specifically for disabled adults. However if you got into even one physical fihgt you were kicked out of the program. So....it is what is is. I'm glad I survived it and I'm happy that things are so much better for my son. But you do have to make an effort to get labeled disabled in order to gain that status. I wish everyone a GREAT night :))))! ;) [/QUOTE]
